Female | 40

The changes in hormones and weight gain are natural processes that happen during pregnancy, and the victims of these are aches often caused by fluid retention or muscle strain. The activities that will help to ease her aches are gentle stretching, warm baths, and a sufficient amount of water to drink. Rest can help, also trying to put her feet up higher than the rest of her body will provide comfort.

My mother is suffering from overweight. Can she have a liposuction therapy as she is in her early 50's.

Female | 49

Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.

 

There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.

 

The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

I’m looking to buying a mounjaro weight loss pen as I’m struggling to lose weight I weight 17st and I’m 5f 3in tall I’m believed that I can order this online by a pharmacy but I would like to know how safe this is before I order

Female | 36

Weight loss might be tricky sometimes, and you should be careful about the online products that promise a quick fix. Sudden weight gain is usually a result of poor eating habits or can also be caused by some medical conditions. A balanced diet and exercise are the two best things that can improve one's health and reduce the possibility of getting overweight. If you have any worries, it would be best to see a doctor to get a treatment that suits you.

Side effects of bariartic surgery

Female | 47

Bariatric surgery can have both positive effects on health and potential side effects. The specific side effects can vary depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed, but here are some common ones:


Surgical risks: It includes infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Nutritional deficiencies:It impacts nutrient absorption and lead to deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. These deficiencies may require lifelong supplementation and close monitoring.

Dumping syndrome: Can occur after gastric bypass surgery, where food moves too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine. You may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and rapid heart rate after meals.

Gallstones: Rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery can increase the risk of developing gallstones. 

Changes in bowel habits: Some individuals may experience changes in bowel movements like diarrhea or constipation, after bariatric surgery.

Hair loss: Temporary hair loss or thinning may occur due to nutritional deficiencies or rapid weight loss. This is usually temporary and can be managed with proper nutrition.

Psychological and emotional changes: Bariatric surgery can have a significant impact on body image, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Some may experience depression, anxiety, or body image issues post-surgery.

Female | 22

It's critical to understand the fact that, being underweight is a condition which happens due to various reasons such as metabolism, diet, and sometimes underlying health issues. In place of injections, discuss your issue with a healthcare expert. They can evaluate your condition and advise you to have a balanced diet filled with healthy calories and doing strength training to add on to your muscles. This approach is comparatively safer, more secure, and sustainable. Remember, you will gain weight slowly from nutritious foods and exercise which will be beneficial for the whole body health. The consultation of a specialist like a physician or a dietician will make you highly successful in your approach. Keep optimism! With the right plan, you can reach the ideal weight!

Which vitamin is best for gaining weight

Male | 18

Gaining weight can be supported by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels. If your body is low in vitamin D, it may struggle to gain weight. Signs of deficiency include tiredness and frequent illness. To boost your vitamin D, consume fatty fish, and fortified cereals, and get daily sunlight exposure. Keeping your vitamin D levels up is essential for healthy weight gain.

You might be going through an eating disorder. Skipping meals and binge eating can mess up your body and mind. When the cortisol and inflammation levels are high, it can be concerning. It is still significant to ask for a professional's competence to help and assist you in improving your life.

I gained weight in last few months and I also have swelling on my body .

Female | 21

Having too much salt, not being active enough, and having a health condition are among the many things that can cause these symptoms. To solve this problem, you should eat foods with less salt content, move around more often, and drink a lot of water. If the swelling persists then it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.
